Exploring northeast Washington

Come join us as we explore beautiful, rugged landscapes in the Columbia Highlands for which we are seeking protection. Our hikes feature some of the region’s finest trails traversing the Colville National Forest’s remaining wild gems. Work parties are another great way to experience the Colville wilderness.

Bring your camera and be prepared to see a variety of wildflowers, wildlife, and expansive mountain views. Along the way you’ll learn what you can do to keep this area wild—and proudly claim you had a hand in earning its permanent protection under the Wilderness Act for future generations to enjoy.

Each hike is lead by an experienced trip leader.

Hikes are free, though a $10 donation per family helps our work to ensure a healthy future in northeastern Washington for wildlife and people, off-sets costs to organize the hike, and gets you a free membership. Please consider donating when you register.
